The Post 4K 2017 Ultra HD 2160p Remux

A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents pushed the country's first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between journalist and government. Inspired by true events.

The Post 4K 2017 Ultra HD 2160p Remux Review
The Post is presented on 4K UHD courtesy of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment with a 2160p transfer in 1.85:1. As I alluded to in our The Post Blu-ray review, this is a really interesting viewing experience to describe since the palette is intentionally muted and nothing really pops in a way that some videophiles might prefer. This is another 4K UHD presentation from a 4K DI that does feature a general uptick in fine detail in elements like the upholstery fabrics in the Graham home or even in the precision of the print shown in some of the newspaper pages or other "Papers", but kind of interestingly HDR doesn't add any significant "wow" to the proceedings, maybe because the entire look of the film is slightly desaturated and kind of dark and even bland at times. That said, shadow definition is marginally improved here, something that helps to reveal new information in some of the more dimly lit interior environments. Somewhat like what I described in the Hostiles 4K Blu-ray review (another release shot on film and sourced from a 4K DI), grain resolves mostly naturally, but (again like Hostiles) can attain a slightly noisy look against lighter backgrounds. What I assume is intentional distressing of the Vietnam footage has a slightly more ragged look in this version.

This film tells us what filmmaking can precisely reflect the social consciousness on the most politically important issue of the nation of today. It is a typical example of realist moviemaking. Although this film was taken place in Nixon ear during failed Vietnam war in early 1970s, this is for this Trump era. Trump is also dictating and clashing freedom of expression in media and individuals like Shinzo Abe's regime does to its domestic media. Spielberg is the legendary master of filmmaking and socially responsible to defend the democracy of United States of America in filmmaking. Where is Ang Lee? Could you do this kind of seriously disturbs authorities' film like Mr.Spielberg did? You can't! We know that, KMT. There are several features of this film, such as JFK was equally criticised as war maker among Nixon and predecessors who engaged covered actions to invade and destabilised other countries like South East Asian countries in this film mentioned. Criticising JFK is not a taboo since then. He was the one who conspired Bay of Pigs invasion by creating fake attack from North Vietnam. Michael Kahn's construction of a scene in dialogue is unique that it is to carefully hide camera which takes revers cut from opposite position at the end of reverse cutting. It is a typical mark of this scene construction in editing. This film's importance is that its defended and encouraged the media to have courage to criticise and monitor the government even under the threat from the dictatorship. Like the tag line said: ''protecting expression of freedom of publishing is to publish.'' The Washington Post CEO and its chief editor did in Nixon's era, that is all of us need today! Japan also needs it! Why no one makes films like this? Thank you, Mr.Spielberg! You are Mr.Hollywood! Great American artist!
